When playing an animation you need to play the animation either using :LoadAnimation on the humanoid object or playing the animation with the help of an AnimationController.

I cleaned up the code for you, and made the variables a lot more understandable. Please feel free to edit if it doesn't fit your needs.

-- Services
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local lightningService = game:GetService("Lighting")

local animation = lightningService:WaitForChild("Animation")
local idle = animation:WaitForChild("Idle")

-- Player
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local animationTrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(idle)
local animationPlaying = false

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, Chat)
    if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and not Chat and humanoid.Health >= 0 then
        if not animationPlaying then

            animationTrack:Play()
            animationPlaying = true
        elseif animationPlaying then

            animationTrack:Stop()
            animationPlaying = false
        end
    end
end)
